Extracting MIME content from e-mail
Even the best Web-based and standalone e-mail clients, like gmail or thunderburd, do not allow users to directly access MIME parts of an e-mail message (though some simpler clients like KMail do).
To solve this problem, many special utilities exist. One such utility is mimedump from Benjamin Elijah Griffin.
Get it here: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EL/ELIJAH/mimedump.75
Install all required CPAN packages, especially File::NFSLock;
and use it like that
mimedump.pl /tmp/output_dir message_file
